Police arrested a man Wednesday and charged him with robbing a bank in Northwest Roanoke, a police spokeswoman said.

Officers were called to First National Exchange Bank in the 2600 block of Peters Creek Road about 3:35 p.m., said police spokeswoman Aisha Johnson.

A suspect had walked into the bank, demanded money and fled with an undisclosed amount of cash, Johnson said. The suspect did not show a weapon.

Richard Wayne Carter, 58, was later located and arrested in a wooded area near the bank, Johnson said.

Carter is being held at the Roanoke City Jail with no bond.
